Compact Water Wheel
The Compact Water Wheel is a building unique to the
Iron Teeth faction. It generates
Power from flowing
Fluids.
Usage
The compact water wheel is unlocked at the start of the game and is the only power generation option to the
Iron Teeth at the beginning along with the
Power Wheel. The advantage of the compact water wheel compared to the
Power Wheel is that it requires no workers to operate, has potential for better power output if the
fluid flow is controlled well enough and costs 15 logs less to build. Disadvantage is that it produces no power if there is no water flow, which can be a challenge during droughts.
Because of the compact water wheels' relatively low power output it is advisable to opt for the Large Water Wheel and the
Engine once you can unlock them.
Constrution
The compact water wheel costs 25 Logs to build. It should be placed on a river where there is flowing fluid. It should then be connected to buildings that use power either directly or via power shafts.
